Robot Wisdom auxiliary: html

Showing posts with label html. Show all posts

06 October 2008

what i'd like/expect to see:

html replaced by simpler e-markup like _italics_
links remember their chain of 'via's
commenting is globally unified-- you don't have to remember where you've left comments
article/page/post/bookmark distinction erased, just views of data
multiple links to same content automatically collated
automatic comparison of tastes/favorites to recommend likely similar author/bloggers

Between 31May and 27Dec 2008, the UK Guardian published an intriguing Chicago-based graphic novel, one page every Saturday. Their page layout sucked mightily, so I've shortcutted the good stuff below. The 1st set of links goes straight to the jpegs, but I'm not sure the URLs are stable. The 2nd set goes to the zoomed images, and don't work right in Google Chrome. The sucky interface is here.

in addition to #-links, browsers should support %-links that jump down X% to end of page, and #?-links that jump to a matching searchpattern
every html style should have a standard ascii equivalent (like _italics_ and *bold*)
a newpage tag should delay scrolling
